Celebrity Big Brother’s India Willoughby accuses Rachel Johnson of cheating by influencing the nominations and manipulating the other housemates

INDIA Willoughby has accused Rachel Johnson of cheating by influencing the Celebrity Big Brother nominations and  manipulating the other housemates.

The transsexual newsreader claims Rachel is pulling the strings behind-the-scenes by discretely suggesting who should be given the boot.

India, 51, was the first housemate to be evicted from the house last weekend and she appeared on Lorraine today to talk about her experiences in the house.

During the chat, India suggested that the nomination process may have a dark side as she’s convinced Rachel has been meddling in the process.

She claims Boris Johnson’s sister has been trashing the housemates she wants evicted behind their backs to make sure they get nominated.

India said: “Rachel Johnson’s really good at planting little bombs and then drifting off out of camera and then letting the person she’s been speaking to fire the bullet.

“You saw it when talking Daniel [Dapper Laughs] last night.

“She said Ann Widdecombe was a real bore, she stopping all the fun, she’s a big handbrake on the show – and then Daniel goes into the nomination room and then nominates the person Rachel has suggested.”

India went on to insist that viewers are now starting to see the housemates’ real personalities as their false facades start to slip.

She added: “Eventually everyone’s facade starts to get stripped away and that’s starting to get stripped away now.”

During the chat with Lorraine Kelly, India also opened up about her personal life, revealing she hopes to eventually reunite with her estranged son.

She had not spoken to the 19-year-old in more than two months before she joined the show.

India explained that the youngster has had some trouble adjusting after her transition, but she hopes they will be able to make up now she’s out of the house.

She said: “That’s been heartbreaking, definitely [I want a reunion]…  I know he loves me and I love him and I have great faith that will happen.

“It took me so long to figure it [my transition] out, he’s only know for a couple of years.

“He’s 19 he’s establishing his own identity – I have great faith but I’ve just got to be patient.”
